ActionScript 3.0 :: Fastest Imagetype For Animated Transparant Movieclip?
Dec 10, 2011
Im using a lot of movieclips in an app.Its hitting the performance limits.Im using .png files in animated movieclips.Looking in the clip it says bitmap as type.. source...pngI used .png because i want the alpha background possibility.I then went into some of the movieclips and changed properties convert to bitmap (althoug technicly they already were according to flash)After this i feel the performance has slightly improved.Is this true or just in my mind & wishfull thinking.

I'm trying to disable the buttons I have on the stage within a function. I have found a way to use a "blocker" from other tutorials to do this. It works fine when I have an instance of the blocker placed on the stage, but I only want the buttons disabled part of the time. So I need to add the movieclip to the stage using actionscript and then remove it once the user has clicked a "reset" button which I have inside of another movieclip. You can download the .fla if needed at [URL] Here is the actionscript I have on the main timeline

I'm trying to use an irregularly shaped PNG as a mask but the mask is just coming out as a straight rectangle, not taking into account the transperancy of the image.
I've found many people complainng about this across the internet, and it is apperantly solvable, I just haven't been able to figure it out.
I've tried Trace Bitmap to vectorize the shape, since it's a single solid shape, but I'm getting weird results: [URL] I cant figure out why those lines are appearing across my mask. There's nothing there in the actual traced image, I've even ran the eraser over the affected sections to make sure.

What are the best practices for optimizing a transparant png image? What things can be done to make such a png file as small as possible without loosing to much of its quality? Best tools? Best Photoshop plugins? Other tips?

This is the third thread I've written for my current project (1st was answered perfectly, 2nd failed [but I still figured it out anyways]) but I'm not sure if there is a solution to this problem. I can't really explain my problem, so once again I've included a helpful animation to show you what I mean. Bear in mind that the pale-blue box represents the movie clip's borders, and those borders are usually changed to include the animation (instead of the borders moving with the animation, the borders get bigger).
For the animation problem, I've already got a solution: create an invisible movie clip that has the exact size and shape of the animated movie clip and make it follow the movie clip as it animates, and make the hitTest check the invisible movie clip instead of the animated one. As for the rotation problem, well, I don't know how to fix it. Is there a way to change that?

I have the following function in my FogOfWar class, it calculates if its team can see the position that is passed on the arguments:[code]My problem is that, with only 3 characters in the game, it can only run 4000 times per second, which is not too much.I can implement a cache, so it caches the most commons positions, but, what else can I do to optimize it?

The question is simple; I need the fastest way to calculate power 2. I need that for this formula which calculates distance between 2 points.var Dist:int = Math.sqrt( (mmx - ox) * (mmx - ox) + (mmy - oy) * (mmy - oy) );

What is the fastest and most efficient way to get RGBA from an image you don't want to display?
I don't care if it uses air or is backwards compatible with a previous version of the player.
Should I be using file io and reading in the bytes and writing my own parser?
Maybe loadBitmap and getPixel?
Are there certain tricks and optimizations to prevent excess work on the player's side?

I'm trying to figure out the fastest possible way to load a .png image into a BitmapData object. I am performing multiple processes that do this (load a .png from filesystem). The progress is shown using a loading bar, and I would like to speed up the loading time. Now this process can be called over n number times (via a timer). Right now the method I am using to this is:

Goal: Now, I want to be able to drag and drop this character movieclip around the stage as I please, leaving him wherever I want, with all of his movements still going on AND the mouseover movements as well.Logic: Since, when the mouse is over this character, I need the drag option area to be a little x or any object close to him, so it doesnt interfere with the movieclips mouse over effects. (could simply be a little rectangle saying: drag me)Problem: Iave no idea how to do this... I am only now starting with this Actionscript world! Donī get me wrong, I am not lazy, Ive been researching but couldnt find exactly what Im looking for.

I have a problem concerning the size of an animated MovieClip.What I want to do is drawing a frame (.graphics.drawRect(...), etc.) around a loaded image file. This works well on loaded images that are static, no matter if it is a jpg, png or a non-animated swf.However, if I load a swf that is animated, its width and height properties are simply wrong. Much too small. They are, however, always the same wrong values for the same animated swf.I also tried with getBounds and getRect on the loaded swf (which I put in as a MovieClip), with the same results.What's up with this and how can I get the real size of the swf?
What we could do would be to insert a fully transparent layer into each swf that would define its size. That would hopefully make the MovieClip always have the correct size. But I would prefer a working way during runtime that workaround works, but I'd still prefer a way that does not involve additional work for our artists (minimal as it might be).

I have searched google for an answer to my problem, but to no results have helped me to solve it. I am trying to find the fastest possible way to load an external .png (as the title suggests). The reason for this is because I want to speed up the loading time of my Adobe Air Application. It loads in a various number of .png files (with transparency) and displays them in a tilelist via Bitmap.

This code calculates the distance between 2 points by using distance formula, Math.sqrt ( (x1 - x2)^2 + (y1 - y2) ^2). My first point has mmx and mmy coordination and second one has ox and oy coordination. My question is simple, is there any FASTER way for calculate this?

I am currently creating animated buttons that have a movie clip inside them (including tweens). I created a button and copied this six times. I would like to change the colour of each individual button, but when I do this it changes the colours of all the buttons. How can I do this so it changes the individual the colour of a single button.

I have an animated MovieClip of a fly that spawns at a random location and moves across the screen by bouncing off the walls. But every time the animation starts over, it seems to "jump" to a random location. Here is the code I have for when it spawns:
private function beginClass(e:Event):void{
_root = MovieClip(root);
do {
[Code].....
How do I fix it so that the fly continues moving in its appropriate path every time the animation starts over?

Lets say I have 3 MovieClips. One that is animation that represents animated overlay of entire stage. Like falling leafs (for example)
One that represents character
One that represents background
I want to make character to be MouseEvent.CLICK interactive. The problem is when I create a particle Animation of falling leafs the single leaf that is an instance of MovieClip blocks Character mouse Interaction. Is there a qay to fix container that holds the particle animation of Leafs so that it will not block Mouse Interaction whit mc below?

I need to know the best method to find an item inside a list (Vector, Array, Dictionary, whatever is faster) of complex type (extensions of Objects and Sprites). I've used "Needle in Haystack" method, but it seems that it isn't fast enough.
E.g. Suppose that I have a collection of Sprites (a pool, in fact). Each sprite will be added to the stage and perform some action. After that, it will die. I don't want to pay the cost to dispose it (garbage collect) and create another (new) one every time so I'll keep the dead sprites in a collection.
Sometimes times I'll call a method that will add a sprite to the stage. This sprite can be a old one, if it is already dead, or a new one, if the pool don't have any free sprite.
One of the scenarios that pushed me to this question was a Particle System. A "head" particle leaving a "trail" of particles every frame and exploding into a flashy multitude of particles... Every frame...
Some times this counts up to 50.000 PNGs with motion, rotation, alpha, event dispatching, scale, etc... But, this is JUST ONE scenario...
At the moment I'm trying to use a Object Pool with a Linked List... Hopes that it will be faster that running a whole Array/Vector or create new instances every frame an let them dye with Garbage Collection.

That's several years I'm working with Flash, and today, i want to do the simplest animation ever, and it just doesn't work....I want to mask an animated clip with an animated mask (a shape animation), but every time the mask arrives at a keyframe, the clip restarts to the frame 1 !!I added a piece of code to see at which keyframe it is blocked, and at every mask keyframe, the code says 'TypeError: Error #1009: null property..

how to deal with unsorted arrays to get the next higher or next smaller value?
var _myArray:Array = (1,pizza,2,6,8,test,11,16,17,cola)
_myArray.splice(4,1) // > remove number 8 !
trace(_myArray) // > array contains now: (1,pizza,2,6,test,11,16,17,cola)
how can i get the next higher value (= 11) ?
